Q: 

How do you run a uncompiled CGI?

I'm going to get right to it.

  1. iPage shared hosting.
  2. Trying to use mimetex.cgi to render math. Source code is at the link.
  3. After preparing everything just as I had with a different shared host (which worked), I get errors. Tech support tells me I need to upload the uncompiled source and use that instead.
  4. ???

Rather than going with them just being ignorant and wrong, I'm going to assume I'm missing something. How am I supposed to execute and make use of the uncompiled source code? What the hell is wrong with a hosting service that doesn't support running compiled CGI written in C (as far as I can tell)?
